Pineapple guacamole

This pineapple guacamole brings a fruity kick to your favorite party dip.

Yesterday, I went to a taping of The Chew. Which is kind of funny because I haven’t had cable in almost 2 years so I’ve never actually watched an episode of the show. But the cool thing about those co-hosts is they’ve all had other gigs before that I’ve watched. So Carla was totally the quirky Top Chef contestant in my head, Michael Symon was The Next Iron Chef contestant, Mario was well…Mario, clogs and all and any time Clinton looked in my direction I’d find myself wondering if he was judging my outfit. As for Daphne? I’ve never even heard of her until this show and her recent book which is fine by me because as soon as the cameras turned off, her face would go straight into pissed off grimace mode. I wanted to be like “really, bitch? You got those kick ass turqouise pumps for free, someone did your hair & makeup and I’m sure you’re making bank…can you just pretend to enjoy your life for an hour?”

Watching 10 lucky bastards sit at a counter eating said food while you’re 20 feet away, clapping like a maniac and fake laughing for fear the audience warm-up comedian guy is going to kick you out if you don’t oblige.

Guys, being an audience member is HARD WORK.

And they didn’t even feed us OR give us a copy of Michal Pollan’s new book, Cooked that he made an appearance on the show to talk about for that work. I’d like to send an email to his publisher and ask how much 120 extra copies would’ve cost them? I would’ve talked the shit up about that book, dude’s like my hero.

So we left starving and a bit cranky. No book, no free food and I spent 1 hour sitting next to an old lady that couldn’t keep her clap rhythm in check. You know when you’re not paying attention and you get offbeat on a clap? But you realize it when you hear a single clap in that second of dead silence when everyone else’s hands are apart? Yeah, that was this lady except she never hit the realization part.

I’m not saying they needed to cook up 120 extra burgers, root beer floats and ham sandwiches (it was a soda shop episode) but some snacks in the studio feels like it would be appropriate for a show named The Chew, no?

I’d gladly have taken this guacamole. Especially in a cute little parmesan cup.

First… isn’t pineapple kind of a weird word? Or is that just me? Anyway… seriously they need to feed the audience of food shows jeez that’s just wrong! I never got a good vibe of Daphne and until this show had never heard of her. I really am not a fan of her dad either so maybe it’s a family weirdness ;)

How unique, never thought of pineapple in my guacamole but I like it a lot :-) and so interesting about the chew. I actually like that show even though I have only watched a couple of time. It sucks to be an audience member, I worked on TV when I was younger so I know :-)

yum, what an awesome idea to add pineapple! i could eat guacamole with every meal…I’m excited to try out your recipe.
p.s. are those red hot blues chips i spy? they are the best for dipping into guac! :)
